Which team has a chance to make a surprise run to the Big 12 Championship Game in 2019?

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answers your questions about the league in a live chat at 1 p.m. Wednesday. Here are some highlights.

Q: Is Texas confident in what they have behind Sam Ehlinger at quarterback?

Carlton: Kind of. It's hard to be fully confident when your backup quarterbacks have never taken a single snap in a college game. At least redshirt freshman Casey Thompson looked like he knew what he was doing under center and showed a dual-threat capability running for a couple first downs.
